JOPLIN, MO (SNS) - In July of this year Dr. Paul Teverow, Professor of History, led a group of 16 primary and secondary teachers on a 2009 study tour of sites in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.

 

The tour included visits to Jamestown Settlement and Historic Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown Battlefield and Yorktown Victory Center, Annapolis, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and the National Museum of the American Indian.
 
The trip is among the program of activities in “What is An American? Teaching American History through Biography”,  a Teaching American History project funded by a grant from the United States Department of Education.

 

The grant has brought the Missouri Southern Social Sciences Department together with the Carl Junction R-I School District, the Southwest Center for Educational Excellence (SCEE), and the Joplin Globe as well as humanities organizations from various regions of the United States with the goal of improving the content knowledge of United States history in schools throughout southwest Missouri.
